O....K.....  but option a) is changing the distro files (undesirable)
and c) is changing the users configuration (also undesirable and
potentially lots of effort).

Option b) looked good but doesn't seem to work; as this bit of a session
shows:

 build:~> echo $KDEDIRS  # included just to check $KDEDIR wasn't a typo
 /conf/localkde/:/conf/llskde/:/usr/
 build:~> echo $KDEDIR
 /conf/llskde/
 build:~> kde-config --path xdgconf-menu
 /home/xtest/.config/menus/:/eyc/xdg/menus/
 build:~>

So is option b) broken in 3.2 or am I doing something stupid again?

Please tell me we havn't gone backwards and are now forced to edit the
distro files or zillions of users .config/menus/applications.menu ?
